Abstract

Health control, valuation of physical capability and functional backup at all flight stages are the major part of health and efficiency support and spacecraft crew reliability. System for medical and psychological monitoring was developed at Moscow Aviation Institute to make wireless registration both electrophysiological signals and spatial coordinates of cosmonauts in airspace of spacecraft. For this purpose space station or interplanetary spacecraft are equipped with Wireless Sensor Network complex receiving and transmitting signal on onboard medical personal computer; at that all international standards of ethics for space experiments are observed. Received information allows to make true and efficient decision on correction of work-rest ratio, health support activities, and psychological support of crew. Successful completion of developed monitoring system allows to include it in system of medical control and in system of medical support of decision making in spacecraft medical backup. The proposed system is usable not only in space biology and medicine, but also in sports medicine for correction and optimization of work-out session.
